A couple of hours later she started mumbling again,
"Riddick, don't leave me," Keira sounding like a child, Riddick was awake and still watching her and hearing her night terrors,
~It's because of us that she cannot sleep, you should just leave, leave now or you will be making it worse, for both of you, you can't bring her along now, not when she is about to graduate to something better in her life.~ his beast explained to him.
~I wont stand in her way, she has not quite reached her greatness in her life just yet, and I will not hold her back, she will be great in this world.~ Riddick thought to himself.
"Riddick," Keira jerking straight up from her pillow, he could feel her shake from where he sat,
"I'm leaving Keira, I just came back to see you were safe," Riddick bluntly as he sat where he was,
"You've been sitting there, watching over me," Keira stated, he could feel fury raging inside her. Slowly Riddick got up, he nodded,
"Seems like you can protect yourself now…" Riddick being interrupted,
"Riddick…" Keira's fury raging to the surface,
"Let me finish Keira," Riddick walking over to the bed and sat down, he wasn't even trying to touch her but she still flinched from his closeness,
"I never have given an explanation for any of my actions, but I wanted to give you one, you deserve one, Keira I saw you as a kid back then, you were on the ship alone, and you remind me of myself, I didn't want you to have to grow up so fast, I wanted to give you a home, somewhere safe, where you didn't have to run and fight and worry about getting killed, I didn't want you to wind up like me, I wanted to give you a good life, I didn't want you to get killed, everyone that has had an impact on my life has gotten killed because of me, because they were caught in the crossfire, I cared a lot about you and I do to this day, I am sorry I broke you, but this explanation I am trying to give you, I hope it shows you how proud I am of you, for who you have become, I heard you're pretty smart and you are excelling very well in your training, if there was a way I could make it up to you I would do it in a heartbeat, but if I had to choose to do it over again I would still have left, Keira I know I broke something inside you, but if you, if anything happened to you, my animal side would break me, it almost broke me when I left you, you are not the only one who was numb, I know this never makes up for what I did to you, and I wont ever be able to see the shine of happiness in your eyes, but I am very proud, you have done so much with your life, you've grown up into a beautiful woman, you have graduated high school with honors, and I am sure you are about to graduate with honors from this pilot school," Riddick letting her see the shine on his eyes.
"I know you will hate me for the rest of your life for leaving you, but I wanted you to have everything in this world, promise me one thing, that you wont ever settle for less, you keep reaching for those stars and soon you will have everything you've always wanted," Riddick wanting to kiss her forehead, but he instead balled his fist at his side so he wouldn't reach out and try to touch her.
"Watch your back Keira and keep that head on the horizon, be great, and if you tell anyone about this mushy shit I just told you, I'll… well you know what I am capable of," Riddick standing by the bed, he stared long and hard at her waiting for any response, she was in shock, her mouth a little gaped open. Richard B. Riddick was never long winded, nor did he ever apologize to anyone, and never had she heard him sound so sincere, but through all he had shared with her just now, never had she felt so …loved. Keira could smell him, he was tensed, he wanted to move but he couldn't, his fists got tighter at his sides, Keira could hear him cursing himself for being so open, and for having to leave her again, he closed his eyes,
"Keira, you know I have to leave right now, I want you to come with me but you have not reached your potential and I cant take you away from that, remember, don't you dare settle for less, if you do, I'll have to find you and kick your ass, I leave to keep you safe, I have mercs on my ass, I will never be free from them and I hope you understand one day that I cared enough to walk away," Riddick strongly. He stood there, waiting but trying to force his legs to move, he couldn't risk anymore time in staying in this place, with her too long, he didn't want her dead. Keira still thought she was dreaming, finally he forced his legs to move and walking stoically with heavy boots hitting the hardwood floor till he was out of sight and a few minutes later she heard the door slam shut. A few minutes passed, Lee cam in and looked at her,
"This, all of this, Riddick was here wasn't he, it wasn't just a dream?" Keira shaking,
"Yes, he risked his life to come and check up on you, he cares kid, more than you could ever imagine," Lee strongly. Keira nodded her head,
"I'm going to sleep, goodnight sensei," Keira laying back down and closing her eyes tightly.
"Goodnight Keira," Lee tucking her in, Keira smirked,
"You've been good to me Lee, you have made me feel loved, you have not only been my teacher but you have been my father, I love you like a father, like my father," Keira looking at him,
"I love you too Keira, like my own daughter," Lee slowly pushing her hair back, he kissed her forehead and left the room. Keira slept for the rest of the night, her body just shut down and for the rest of the night she slept.
